Wozniacki appeared the better player and her scorching backhand continually caught Serena off balance. Her forehand appears to be improved too but she allowed Serena to get back in the game and wasted several match points before losing. She looks a tremendous threat though...

The pre-Open Aussie race for the exits began yesterday with only Millman, Luczak, Ebden and Siranni making it through the first round of qualifying. Ironically Luczak and Siranni were both only in qualifying because Tennis Aus won’t give them main draw wildcards as they are too old to be part of the new youth revolution. And if they do well it shows they probably don’t need any help anyway.
